Nosodes
defiNitioN
Nosodes are the remedies which are made of bacteria and viruses,
diseased tissue, excretions or mixtures of these. Some of them
have been proved and others have not. They are supposed to
contain the signature of the disease.
History
Hahnemann did not know the concept of ‘nosode’ but he had an
acquaintance with isopathic agents. He did a proving of the sero-
purulent matter of a scabies vesicle , ‘wet psora’. This experiment
was published by Stapf in 1833. Then, the first nosode ‘Psorinum’
was know.
The product ‘dry psora’ taken from the epidermoid
efflorescence of pityriasis was used by Gross to make another
proving of Psorinum.
In the year 1833, Hering introduced the nosode ‘Lyssinum’. In
1854, a Brazilian homeopath had the first proving with the sputum
of T.B. patient, which led to the full proving of Tuberculinum.
In 1880, Swan published the provings of Medorrhinum and
Syphilinum. Shortly after, Burnett published the proving of
90 Notes on Miasms, Heredity and Nosodes
iNdiCatioNs to presCribe a
Nosode
1. The classic indications to prescribe nosodes are mainly based
on the family and personal anamnesis:
i. The family anamnesis especially indicates to classic
nosodes (cf. page 54 Indications for the prescription of a
classic or other nosode).
ii. The personal anamnesis indicates more towards isopathic
nosodes (cf. page 55 Medorrhinum, case 2, comment).
2. Nosodes are indicated in chronic cases when well selected
remedies fail to relieve or permanently cure (cf. Allen, H.C.,
The Materia Medica of the Nosodes, in the introduction of
Psorinum).
3. A classic nosode can be prescribed as the ‘fundamental’
homeopathic remedy of a patient on the basis of its indications.
This possibility is very rare.
4. A nosode, especially Psorinum, can be used to finish a
constitutional treatment. This is the way I mostly use classic
nosodes.
5. A nosode can also be used:
i. To clarify an unclear remedy picture: This is the indication
to prescribe a Bowel nosode.
ii. To remove a blockage: This is the indication to prescribe an
isopathic agent. Sometimes there is also a notion of ‘Never
well since’.
iii. As a prophylactic remedy, for example during a severe flu
epidemic.
